If you are using XP, you will see a "safely remove hardware" icon on the lower right of your screen, in the system tray, whenever you have a USB device plugged in. It is near the clock/time indicator. If you are running things like dropbox, Calibre and other programs, you may have an arrow instead as not everything fits on the lower right. Same for Windows 7.
Click on it. you will get a dialog box. Click on that and then stop the reader (following the directions) and after you get the pop-up telling you the device is disconnected, remove it.
It is possible for the icon to disappear from your system tray. Google "safely remove hardware icon not in system tray" for help with that.
You will know you have succeeded when you can no longer see Kobo listed under My Computer. You can also eject the reader from the Kobo desktop application.
